Chapter 15: The Undead
"But unadvanced is unadvanced. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"In the eyes of some people, a first-order warrior is just a non-advanced profession, a second-order warrior is considered to be a beginner, but the status of a mage is much higher than that of a warrior.
Maybe Arnold has some strength, but his mistake is that he didn't reveal his identity, and he wanted the toad to eat swan meat. Derick still looks down on Arnold, but he doesn't know that he is also a delusional toad in the eyes of others.
"And even if he has a little strength, if he is interested, he will go to Bishop City this time to get something and disappear forever. If it reappears, when it reaches the Selene Mountains, it will naturally have his bones to eat. Derrick sneered inwardly.
Lydia didn't care about Darerick's words at all, and sat on the sidelines slowly recovering from her injuries. Although the wound has been treated, and the healing potion provided by the manor has been applied to recover well, the lost vitality still needs to be slowly adjusted.
At this time, a mercenary who was watching the wind outside the door ran in and said to Derrick: "My lord, it will be dawn in two hours, and when we want to sneak into the Selene Mountains, it will be easy to be discovered." ”
Derick frowned and said, "But did you see Arnold?"
"My lord, ten kilometers outside the manor are fertile fields, and there are no obstacles, even at night, I can see people three kilometers away. Mr. Arnold was nowhere to be found. When the mercenary saw the appropriateness of Derik's frown, he immediately understood and exaggerated his rhetoric.
"Lydia, is it necessary for you to let Arnold go to Bishop City to get something, it is protected by us, and with your map, it will not be a problem to cross the Selene Mountains at all, and we are only on the periphery, there should be no powerful magical beasts. Derick squinted at Lydia and said, "And I think this Arnold must have taken something and escaped." ”
Lydia frowned, but still interrupted the idea of recuperation, got up and said, "It's not easy to go to Bishop City, which is controlled by Noller, to get things. This is something very important to us, without which we would not have been able to cross the Selene Mountains. ”
"It's not valuable, it's of no use to people who don't understand. Moreover, I believe in Arnold's character. ”
"So what, we have to keep waiting? Miss today, Nole has completely blockaded the Selene Mountains, should we force our way in? Not to mention whether it succeeds or not, the casualties must be heavy. ”
"Yes, Miss Lydia, with Master Derrick, we will be able to get out of the Selene Mountains safely, and we don't need this mysterious Mr. Arnold. One of Darik's men also stood up to persuade Lydia.
After hearing this, Lydia surprisingly did not object, I don't know if it was because of Deric's words or the mercenary's words, which made her have to think about it carefully.
Lydia walked out the door, looked at the sky, and said, "Arnold and I agreed to meet here before dawn, and we can't break the promise first. I'm waiting an hour, and if he doesn't show up after an hour, I, Lydia, have seen the wrong person. This is the end of this topic, I need a quiet environment to recuperate. After saying that, Lydia ignored the expressions of others, and walked back to the main hall alone, meditating to restore her mental strength.
Arnold, on the other hand, had the urge to scold at this time. After getting out of the corpse truck, he ran all the way towards Monica Manor, and in order to lighten his weight and speed up, he only wore a cloth cloak and pinned an eagle sword to his waist.
Unexpectedly, this place was too close to the mass grave, and I actually bumped into 2 wandering ghouls. Although Arnold dealt with them with two swords, he didn't care. As a result, along the way, there were more and more ghouls, and there were also zombies, night owls and other necromantic creatures wandering.
Arnold killed all the way, greatly delayed by the speed, these necromantic creatures have no intelligence, but are only attracted by the smell of the living and attack Arnold.
"Could it be that there is a necromancer around here? or some necromantic treasure has appeared, resurrecting so many necromantic creatures. At this rate, it would have been difficult for me to get to Monica Manor before dawn. Obviously there are less than 50 kilometers left, damn it. "With Arnold's second-order speed, 50 kilometers is only a matter of half an hour, but now encountering these disturbing things makes Arnold annoyed.
"It seems like this is just the periphery, what the hell is going on in that mass grave? eh, that's?" Arnold crushed the two skeletons that had risen again, but he could vaguely see several wandering necromantic knights on the hill.
"It's not good, it's a necromantic knight, a second-order profession, if you catch up, you'll be entangled all the way. Arnold didn't want to get the trouble back to Lydia, although they had not known her for a long time, they still felt that this little girl was the kind of person with a cold face and a warm heart, and this mission was very important to her, and Arnold wanted to help her within his ability. Of course, the most important thing is that this is the only way to survive.
Arnold concealed his black tattered cloak and sneaked to a high ground to find a way to spare him.
Necromancers begin to spread out from the east, while they are currently from south to north, so it is natural to encounter more and more necromancers. But if you go west and then north, you can't get up in time, and the speed is not as fast as the Necro Knight, and in the end it's just a waste of time.
Or can you only go north, do you want to kill all the way? Arnold looked at the time, and there was only half an hour left before the appointed time.
"Arnold. ”
"Hmm, Alice, what did you find. In order to find a way out, Arnold shared his eyes with Alice.
"Arnold, as far as I know, the necromancers sense the breath of the living through the power of the soul, are naturally close to the earth element, fear the light, but are sensitive to the light. The perception of other elements is average. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Arnold, look over there, there's a quicksand river, and there's plenty of water in it. Although the water elemental has the power to nourish and tolerate the souls of the dead, it is very weak to their perception. There is a breath-holding stone in the system that weakens the breath and can help you. ”
"Breath Stone?" is an item in a small commodity market in the system, not in the mall, usually only some small items of no value, very rare, can be purchased with gold coins. And now there are tens of thousands of Arnold gold coins.
Arnold quickly switches the interface, finds the small commodity market in the void, and finds the breathing stone. Worth 2,000 gold coins, disposable, can weaken part of the breath, this part is rarely vague. However, since there was no way out, Arnold could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and bought 3 at once and put them on his body.
Breath Holder: Gray in color, low in existence, still on the ground, never feeling its presence. A piece lasts for an hour.
Time was running out, and Arnold crushed a breath-holding stone and waited for its effect. I saw the fragments of the breath stone turn into a layer of gray crystals, and gently sink into Arnold's body.
Arnold suddenly felt that his figure had dimmed a little, and his breath was even closer to nothing, and he retracted within a radius of one meter, as long as he didn't let the necromantic creature get close to him by one meter, he believed that it would be difficult to detect himself. Except, of course, for high-level necromantic creatures.
